1 Meeting of Lanarkshire NHS Board: 31 uary 2018 Lanarkshire NHS Board Kirklands Bothwell G71 8BB Telephone: SUBJECT: Healthcare Associated Infection (HCAI) Reporting Template 1. PURPOSE This paper is coming to the NHS Lanarkshire (NHSL) Board: For approval For endorsement To note The purpose of this paper is to update NHSL Board Members on the current position against the Healthcare Association Infection (HAI) Standards 2015 with particular reference to NHSL Board performance against the Local Delivery plan (LDP) Targets. 2. ROUTE TO THE BOARD This paper has been: Prepared Reviewed Endorsed By the Head of Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) with approval by the Lanarkshire Infection Control Committee (LICC). 3. SUMMARY OF KEY ISSUES The key performance headlines and improvement activity are noted on pages STRATEGIC CONTEXT This paper links to the following: Corporate Objectives LDP Government Policy Government Directive Statutory Requirement AHF/Local Policy Urgent Operational Other Issue There is a national mandatory requirement for a report relating to IPC to be presented to the NHS Board using the Scottish Government Reporting Template (in Appendix 2). 1

2 5. CONTRIBUTION TO QUALITY This paper aligns to the following elements of safety and quality improvement: Three Quality Ambitions: Safe Effective Person Centred Six Quality Outcomes: Everyone has the best start in life and is able to live longer healthier lives; (Effective) People are able to live well at home or in the community; (Person Centred) Everyone has a positive experience of healthcare; (Person Centred) Staff feel supported and engaged; (Effective) Healthcare is safe for every person, every time; (Safe) Best use is made of available resources. (Effective) 6. MEASURES FOR IMPROVEMENT LDP Targets for Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemias (SABs) LDP Targets for Clostridium difficile Infections (CDIs) Key Performance Indicators for Meticillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) Screening Surveillance, Education, Engagement and Device (SEED) Monitoring Programme LICC Sub-Group updates on progress. 7. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The organisation incurs financial implications in the management of an HCAI depending on the length of stay of a patient, the associated treatment required and throughput of patients from a bed management perspective. Health Protection Scotland (HPS) make reference to a study 1 carried out in 2013 that estimated the inpatient costs of an HCAI in an NHS acute care hospital to be 137 million excluding the costs of those infections occurring outside hospital and highlights that the prevention of an HCAI in all healthcare settings is of paramount importance. 8. RISK ASSESSMENT/MANAGEMENT IMPLICATIONS NHSL is working to achieve the LDP for SABs and CDIs by 31 ch There has been no change to the SAB and CDI HEAT Targets 20/2018 and therefore the organisation will continue to work to achieve the current targets in place. 9. FIT WITH BEST VALUE CRITERIA This paper aligns to the following best value criteria: Vision and leadership Effective partnerships Governance and accountability Use of resources Performance Equality management Sustainability 10. EQUALITY AND DIVERSITY IMPACT ASSESSMENT An Equality and Diversity Impact Assessment has been completed 1 2

3 Yes Please say where a copy can be obtained No Please say why not ITEM 9 There has been no requirement to date to complete an Equality and Diversity Impact Assessment. 11. CONSULTATION AND ENGAGEMENT Consultation and contributions have been derived from the following departments/personnel across acute and partnership services: Infection Prevention and Control Team (IPCT) Property and Support Services Division (PSSD) Antimicrobial Management Team (AMT) Healthcare Quality Assurance Improvement Committee (HQAIC) Lanarkshire Infection Control Committee (LICC) and Sub-groups 12. ACTIONS FOR THE BOARD The NHS Board is asked to: Approval Endorsement Identify further actions Note Accept the risk identified At the last Board meeting in ober 20, members raised two issues and the responses to both are set out below. Clarify the issue around national requirements for reporting on only 15 year olds and above patients. Health Protection Scotland direct NHS Boards to record CDI data in two categories - from years and 65 years and over. The data within the LDP is a combined figure of both categories. This is a national requirement. Update report to include data on deaths. Infection Prevention and Control colleagues complete case reviews of all HCAI deaths where SAB and CDI are on death certificates and also all severe CDI cases. We will start reporting, from summer This will be reported quarterly in the HAIRT numbers of SAB & CDI HCAI deaths along with the numbers of case reviews. IPC colleagues will also use the opportunity to discuss/escalate any relevant lessons learned via the Local Infection Control Committees. The NHS Board is asked to note this report and highlight any areas where further clarification or assurance is required. The NHS Board is also asked to confirm whether the report provides sufficient assurance about the organisational performance on HCAI, and the arrangements in place for managing and monitoring HCAI. 13. FURTHER INFORMATION For further more detailed information or clarification of any issues in this paper please contact: Anne Armstrong Acting Executive Director of Nursing, Midwifery and Allied Health Professionals (NMAHPs) (Telephone number: ) Emer Shepherd, Head of Infection Prevention and Control (Telephone number: ) 3

5 NHS LANARKSHIRE PERFORMANCE JULY TO SEPTEMBER 20 Health Protection Scotland (HPS) Validated Data Please note national validated data is provided 3 months in arrears from HPS which can result in delays in the IPCT reporting to the NHS Board due to the alignment of reporting schedules. Staphylococcus aureus Bacteraemia (SABs) Staphylococcus aureus (S. Aureus) is a gram positive bacterium which colonises the nasal cavity of about a quarter of the healthy population. An infection can occur if S. Aureus breaches the body s defence system and can cause a range of illnesses from minor skin infections to serious systematic infections such as bacteraemia. LDP Target: To achieve 24 SAB cases or less per 100,000 AOBD by 31 ch NHSL Performance (- 20): 43 SAB cases (target not met) LDP target trajectory equates to no more than 106 cases per annum. Refer to Appendix 1 to see NHSL performance charts. Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) CDI is an important HCAI, which usually causes diarrhoea and contributes to a significant burden of morbidity and mortality. Prevention of CDI is therefore essential and an important patient safety issue. LDP Target: To achieve 32 CDI cases or less per 100,000 AOCB in the aged 15 and over age group by 31 ch NHSL Performance (- 20): 33 CDI cases (target not met) LDP target equates to no more than 0 cases per annum. Refer to Appendix 1 to see NHSL performance charts. Surgical Site Infection SSI is one of the most common HCAI and can cause increased morbidity and mortality and is estimated on average to double the cost of treatment, mainly due to the resultant increase in length of stay. SSI can have a serious consequence for patients affected as they can results in increased pain, suffering and in some cases require additional surgical intervention. NHSL Performance (- 20): 4 C-Section SSIs from 379 procedures (0.01% infection rate) 0 Hip Arthoplasty SSIs from 99 procedures (0% infection rate) 1 Colorectal SSIs from 15 procedures (0.07% infection rate) 4 Vascular SSIs from 64 procedures (6.25% infection rate) Hand Hygiene Hand Hygiene is recognised as being the single most important indicator of safety and quality of care in healthcare settings because there is substantial evidence to demonstrate the correlation between good hand hygiene practices and low healthcare associated infection rates confirmed by the World Health Organisation (WHO). NHSL Performance (- 20): 87% against a national requirement of 95% (target not met) Outbreak Incidence The role of the IPC Team in healthcare is to prevent, prepare for, detect and manage outbreaks of infection. NHSL Performance (- 20): There were no ward closures or restrictions during the activity period. Escherichia coli Bacteraemia (ECB) Gram negative bacteria are now an emerging threat to health worldwide. Bacteraemia develops usually as a complication of other infections, including urinary tract infection (UTI), surgery and use of medical devices including urinary catheters and vascular access devices (VAD). Mandatory ECB enhanced surveillance was implemented il 20. A number of initiatives are currently being explored at national level with a view to reducing incidence rates including introduction of a Scottish Government performance target. NHSL Performance (- 20): 156 ECB cases MRSA Screening A clinical risk assessment (CRA) is completed for all acute inpatient admissions and against the screening policy identifies a subset of patients at high risk of MRSA colonisation or infection on admission to hospital who are then tested for MRSA. NHSL Performance (- 20): 96% against a national requirement of 90% (target met) 5

6 Key Achievements y to ember 20 The Infection Prevention and Control Team (IPCT) won the best poster award at the Infection Prevention Society at Manchester in ember 20 on Vascular access device system assessment a vital step before attempting system improvement. There was an announced inspection at Udston Hospital during ember 20. The initial feedback received was positive from the inspection team with no issues or concerns requiring escalation during the inspection. The final report was published 29 ember 20 with 1 requirement and no recommendations. A clinical skills laboratory was set up by the Infection Prevention and Control Team (IPCT) in Ward 18 at Hairmyres Hospital and used for training and education in monitoring and maintaining environmental cleanliness and decontamination of patient equipment. A total of 7 sessions were completed during ust 20 and ember 20. The sessions were well received by those in attendance which included Executive Directors and Non-Executive Directors. Monitoring Programme Between y to ember 20, a total of 1,112 staff have received ward based training and education via the SEED (Surveillance, Education, Engagement, Devices) monitoring programme. The themes covered during these months included: y 20 ust 20 ember 20 National Education for Scotland (NES) Standard Infection Prevention and Control Education Pathway (SIPCEP); IPCT Firstport Appropriate patient placement and cleanliness of commodes. Norovirus awareness Infection Related Intelligence Service (IRIS) There were 477 alert organisms reported via the laboratory for IPCT to monitor and manage throughout y to ember 20. There have been 1 visits to the high risk areas on all acute sites by the IPC nurses. 6

7 Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia (SAB) When Staphylococcus aureus (S. Aureus) breaches the body s defence mechanisms, it can cause a wide range of illness from minor skin infections to serious infections such as bacteraemia or bloodstream infection. Local Delivery Plan (LDP) Target: All Scottish NHS Boards are required to achieve the SAB HEAT target of 24 cases or less per 100,000 acute occupied bed days (AOBD) by 31 ch There were a total of 43 SAB cases during y to ember 20. The projected LDP target equates to no more than 106 cases per annum. NHSL performance against the target is shown in Appendix 1. NHSL Performance ( 20): 43 SAB cases 2 MRSA cases 41 MSSA cases 27 HCAI Cases CAI Cases Quality improvement and interventions in place to reduce SABs: The organisation has been working to achieve a 25% reduction in the number of Healthcare Associated Infections (HCAIs) SABs in the activity year as part of the Invasive Device Expert Advisory Group. A 9% reduction has been achieved between il to ember 20 with a total of 81 HCAI cases against 90 HCAI cases in the same time period in 20. Enhanced surveillance and monitoring. The completion of mandatory acute inpatient screening on admission for MRSA via the National Clinical Risk Assessment (CRA) to support pre-emptive isolation and patient management. Completion SAB Rapid Reviews sharing learning via Hygiene Teams. Initiation of SAB multi-disciplinary investigations for patients with SAB noted on the death certificate began in ust 20. No investigations required during this activity period. Invasive Device Expert Advisory Group (IDEAG) to support SAB reduction strategies. A Stay Safe Stay Connected campaign is underway in relation to IV (intravenous) disconnection and associated risks. The awareness raising sub-group has been progressing this work by taking into account the key principles and values outlined within the Lanarkshire Quality Approach and through the practical application of various quality improvement tools and techniques. 7

8 Clostridium difficile Infection (CDI) CDI is an important HCAI, which usually causes diarrhoea and contributes to a significant burden of morbidity and mortality. Prevention of CDI is therefore essential and an important patient safety issue. Local Delivery Plan (LDP) Target: All Scottish NHS Boards are required to achieve the CDI HEAT target of 32 cases or less per 100,000 AOBD in the aged 15 and over age group by 31 ch There were 33 CDI cases during y to ember 20. Following national validation by HPS, a further 2 additional community associated cases have been attributed to NHSL from samples tested in NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde laboratory as the patients residence falls within the NHSL area. These cases do not count towards NHSL LDP target as confirmed by HPS. The projected LDP target equates to no more than 0 cases per annum. NHSL performance against the target is shown in Appendix 1. NHSL Performance ( 20): Patients 15 years and above (total against the LDP target) 33 CDI cases Patients aged 65 years and above 19 CDI Cases 18 HCAI Cases 6 CAI Cases 9 of Unknown Source Quality Improvement and interventions to reduce CDIs: Enhanced surveillance and monitoring. CDI severe case review carried out by a multi-disciplinary team to support improvement in assessment / detection for early intervention and patient management. Good antimicrobial stewardship. Proactive isolation of patients by frontline staff. Antimicrobial Management Workbook. 8

9 Surgical Site Infection (SSI) SSI is one of the most common HCAI and can cause increased morbidity and mortality. It is estimated on average to double the cost of treatment, mainly due to the resultant increase in length of stay. SSI can have a serious consequence for patients affected as they can result in increased pain, suffering and in some cases require additional surgical intervention. Caesarean Section 379 Procedures carried out 4 SSIs following procedure 0.01% Infection Rate Hip Arthroplasty 99 Procedures carried out 0 SSIs following procedure 0% Infection Rate Vascular 64 Procedures carried out 4 SSIs following procedure 6.25% Infection Rate Please note that national mandatory data collection began in il 20. Colorectal 15 Procedures carried out 1 SSIs following procedure 0.06% Infection Rate Please note that national mandatory data collection began in il 20. Quality Improvement and interventions to reduce SSIs: Collaborative working. Development of new reporting procedure. Protocol to include new mandatory procedures. Communication with medical and nursing staff. DATIX Learning. 9

10 MRSA Acute Inpatient Admission Screening A national MRSA acute inpatient admission screening policy has been in place throughout Scotland since ch A clinical risk assessment (CRA) is completed for all acute inpatient admissions and against the screening policy identifies a subset of patients at high risk of MRSA colonisation or infection on admission to hospital who are then tested for MRSA. This method of screening reduces the number of patients who require to be laboratory tested for MRSA and allows high risk patients to be pre-emptively isolated whilst the results of the test are awaited. Local Delivery Plan (LDP) Target: Overall compliance was 96% against a national requirement of 90% or above. NHSL Performance against the target is shown in Appendix 1. Carbapenemase-producing enterobacteriaceae (CPE) National Screening Programme CPE are a type of extremely antibiotic resistant bacteria. The Enterobacteriaceae are a family of Gram negative bacteria (sometimes called coliforms) which are part of the normal bacterial gut flora. They include common pathogens such as E. coli, Klebsiella sp, Proteus sp and Enterobacter spp. These organisms are some of the most common causes of many infections such as UTIs, intra-abdominal infections and bloodstream infections. Progress with Screening Implementation: An implementation plan agreed by the LICC has been developed to take forward the delivery of the screening programme. Phase 1 - University Hospital Monklands between ober to ember 20. Phase 2 University Hospital Wishaw and Phase 3 University Hospital Hairmyres scheduled for early Hand Hygiene Hand Hygiene is recognised as being the single most important indicator of safety and quality of care in healthcare settings. Local Delivery Plan (LDP) Target: Overall compliance was 87% against a national requirement of 95% or above. NHSL Performance against the target is shown in Appendix 1. 10

11 Hand Hygiene is a term used to describe the decontamination of hands by various methods including routine hand washing and/or hand disinfection which includes the use of alcohol gels and rubs. The 5 Moments for Hand Hygiene (as shown in the diagram) approach defines the key opportunities when health-care workers should perform hand hygiene. Training and Education Throughout y to ember 20, the IPCT completed 38 separate training and educational sessions across NHS Lanarkshire which included: 15 x Golden Hour/Nugget various training sessions 7 x Clinical Skills Laboratory, Hairmyres Hospital 6 x Corporate Induction 5 x Medical Induction/FY1 Workshop 2 x Wishaw General Hospital Attention to Detail Week 1 x Quality Nurse in Practice University Hospital Monklands 1 x CPE Screening Training at CAAS Group 1 x SERCO Training 11

12 Outbreak Management 0 University Hospital Monklands 0 University Hospital Wishaw 0 University Hospital Hairmyres H&SCPs 0 Bed days lost 0 Ward Closures 0 Patients affected 0 Room Closures 0 staff affected Quality Improvement and interventions to support outbreak management: Completion of winter preparedness events across acute and H&SCPs. Host training and educational events. Engaging with staff to work proactively in managing patients / isolation / cohort to minimise effect. Apply learning from Incident Management Team and / or Outbreak Management Debriefs. 12

13 LICC and Sub-Group Progress LICC The LICC workplan continues to progress LICC approval. The SEED Monitoring Programme began in y 20 across NHSL carrying out various themed topics per month. The ontamination Clinical Nurse Specialist is now in post. University Hospital Hairmyres Hygiene Group As at 30 ember 20, University Hospital Hairmyres were 451 days with no PVC related SABs. Good uptake on staff getting their flu jab early across the Hospital staff identified to carry our peer immuniser role An announced HIS HEI inspection took place in ember 20 at Udston Hospital. This included Douglas Ward, which sits in Acute. This went very well, with only 1 requirement identified, around safe disposal of a spillage of blood / body fluid an action plan is in place. Although this was an HEI inspection, the inspectors also commented very positively on the person centred care they had witnessed. University Hospital Monklands Hygiene Group MRSA screening compliance continues to be monitored with improvement to date being maintained. There is ongoing work to ensure sustainability in the processes. SEED continues to be well received on the site with good engagement from staff. Work is progressing with the Short Life Working Group on management of outbreak situations. Work has commenced in relation to the reduction of PVC related SAB cases on site with 4 areas identified for improvement work. University Hospital Wishaw Hygiene Group There is now a robust system of enhanced monitoring and escalation of cleanliness across the site. There are enhanced working relationships with SECRO and PSSD as a result of new reformed hygiene meeting. 13

14 LICC and Sub-Group Progress North H&SCP Hygiene Improvements to the reporting template have been made and roles/responsibilities in report submission to hygiene group have been discussed within the group. Police custody suites require to be reviewed to assess the standards. IPCT are working with the respective team to progress this. Daily or twice daily walk rounds are being undertaken in several areas mainly Mental Health. South H&SCP Hygiene Not all professions have completed risk assessments against the completion of the standard infection control precautions monitoring programme. This is being addressed. The cleaning directions and standard operating procedure for baby scales is being uploaded to webpage and it will continue to expand as new / updated information becomes available. There continues to be some refinement of LanQIP submissions and extracting of reports. Antimicrobial Management Committee Input at Multi-disciplinary CDI severe case reviews. Delivered new staff antimicrobial induction across 3 acute sites. Launched new antimicrobial guidance e.g. vancomycin adult dosing policy supported by online dosage calculator on app platform and primary care empirical policy with e-version also available on app platform Delivered presentation Management of high risk medicines learning from Gentamicin to NHSL Medicines Safety Sub Group chaired by Dr Lesley Anne Smith. 14
